Description
An activated sludge treatment system is a living ecosystem and requires special care to ensure that the organisms
are healthy and provided with the proper environment for them to flourish. There are many factors that can have an
effect on the efficiency and overall operations of an activated sludge treatment plant and there are many
operational adjustments that need to be made on a daily basis to keep the system running at its best. Two
calculations that are often used to determine those adjustments are food/microorganism (F/M) ratio and mean cell
residence time (MCRT).
